Welcome to Shell Point!

We invite you to relax and recharge old Florida style in a private Bayfront lot surrounded by natural vegetation and your own private dock on the Apalachicola Bay! This 2BR/3BA home sleeps 4 and features multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy and experience.

The spacious, open living area with tall ceilings and decorative beams, has a large flat screen with Blu-ray player, Bose CD stereo and comfortable seating (sorry, fireplace is not available). The dining table offers dining with a gorgeous water views and the well-equipped kitchen shines with new stainless-steel appliances and natural lighting with tall windows and sky light. The nearby laundry room has a full-size washer/dryer.

A bonus Bayside sunroom is a great space to lounge while enjoying the panoramic Apalachicola Bay views. The sunroom also opens onto the furnished Bayside sun deck where you can dine outdoors or simply sit and take in the sunsets.

The large, Westside master bedroom has a King bed, flat screen TV w/ Blu-ray player and Bay views. The en suite bathroom has a walk-in shower, double sinks and ample counter space.

The Eastside guest bedroom with Queen bed also offers Bay views, flat screen TV w/ DVD player and en suite bathroom with walk-in shower.

Ground level is a game room with ping pong table and full bathroom. Outdoor amenities include covered parking, gas grill, outdoor shower and complimentary water gear that includes 3 kayaks and 2 SUP boards!

The private dock is great for viewing the local water life, fishing and launching your kayaks and SUP boards! Or simply sit and enjoy the natural setting. Please note, launching kayaks takes place at the end of the dock and can require some heavy lifting during low tide. Entrance into the Shell Point channel can be shallow and does not allow for boats to moor at the dock.

Beach access is an easy 3-minute walk from the property and is just across the main road, Gulf Beach Drive. On your walk to the beach you will cross the 6-mile long bike path that leads back to the center of the Island where shops and restaurants are located or to the St. George Island State Park entrance which is only a 4-minute bicycle ride from the property!

Relaxing Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Shell Point for a week at the end of May. The house has most everything you need. We enjoyed the little cove in the back. We had some trouble finding the entrance for the beach access, but the management team was helpful for us. It was very homey atmosphere. We enjoyed our time there.

Overall our stay was excellent. The size of the home and the location were great. Tremendous view of the marsh and bay! Service and communication with the rental agency was excellent. On the down side, the house and property are older and could use a lot of TLC. The grounds were unkept and in disrepair. While it could have been because of our stay, trees had been cut in the back yard and had not been removed. The dock area was new but had no railings or other safety features and we felt this was a liability. Inside, the kitchen and bathrooms were obviously remodeled, so we assumed the rest of the house was a work in progress. Again, a LOT of TLC needed. Furniture was old, worn, and in some cases smelled bad. In need of replacement. Same with the mattresses. They desperately need replacement. Downstairs game room smelled very musty and we did not use. Would we stay there again? Absolutely! But only because of the location and only if we has assurances that some improvements and repairs had been made. However, will definitely rent from Forgotten Shores Properties in the future.

A very beautiful place in a quiet location

The house is a very spacious place with awesome sun room overlooking the bay. The kitchen has everything you need for making meals. Also, the game room was an added bonus with ping pong table, darts and other games when its raining or at night. There multiple kayaks, a paddle board and beach buggy. We had a great time and will come back.

Perfect Home to relax with bayfront view and quick beach access

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here numerous times under previous ownership. We were so happy to find it available for rental again. First let me say that Forgotten Shores rental agency is 6 star! Phenomenal...and we have rented many homes over the years with very good service. . House is well equipped and very comfortable .The nature view is awesome,we saw two eagles actually sitting on a sandbar out beyond the dock. This is a home to relax in...SGI is our escape from crazy season in Clearwater!It's good to be back to our favorite home in SGI! (We have also rented in Plantation and East End Bayside numerous times so we have a comparison) Thanks for opening the home to renting again.
